My players are all actors

Chapter 189 Meeting in a narrow road

【Based on the disposition of all cases, Dasheng Dynasty Guozuo is being recalculated. 】

[Dasheng Dynasty enjoys Guozuo: 260 five years. 】

["Emperor" status successfully cleared! 】

[Customs clearance evaluation: The filth of the country is called the master of the country; the bad luck of the country is the king of the world. 】

Seeing this final ending, Chu Ge finally let out a sigh of relief.

It's finally cleared!
In the end, the comprehensive calculation of Guo Zuo still surprised Chu Ge.Because it was much lower than he expected.

Obviously, every step has been handled as carefully as possible, and the handling of the three major cases has made some improvements on the basis of Sheng Taizu's standard answers, but in the end it still failed to surpass Sheng Taizu's achievements in the past.

It stands to reason that after Sima Yan was also killed, there should be no new large-scale cases to be dealt with among these piles of memorials.

If there are still major cases, it will definitely not be possible to pass the customs in the end.

Most of the deductions are due to some details.

In other words, when Chu Ge dealt with other insignificant memorials, the measures taken by Chu Ge must be different from Sheng Taizu's.

Some of the methods he adopted may be good in theory, but in the actual implementation process, various problems will be encountered, which will shorten the Guozuo of the Dasheng Dynasty.

The vision of modern people is indeed higher than that of the ancients, but their understanding of the world is definitely not as good.After the two phases are superimposed, it is still unlikely for the player to make achievements that surpass the ancients in an all-round way.

Therefore, the customs clearance condition for the status of "emperor" is to be more than 230 years old.

Lu Heng was stunned for a moment when he saw the evaluation of the "Emperor" status.

"Hey, this evaluation is very different from the identity of a beggar."

Chu Ge took a look at him: "Just tell the truth. The identities of the emperor and the beggar are far from each other, and the similar evaluation is the problem, right?"

Lu Heng shook his head: "No, I didn't mean that.

"I mean, when evaluating the trial of beggar status, the evaluation of this game is relatively long-winded, and there are a lot of words. But when it comes to the emperor, it can be summed up in one sentence."

He recalled a little, and briefly recounted the comments he made when he cleared the beggar status.

It can be clearly seen that the comment on the status of a beggar is more specific, while the comment on the status of an emperor is broader and more abstract.

Chu Ge was silent for a long time, and said: "So the evaluation of this customs clearance is appropriate.

"Because of Sheng Taizu's four identities, each identity has different customs clearance requirements and different meanings.

"The role of a beggar is mainly to allow players to experience the suffering at the bottom, highlighting the importance and contingency of heroes in the transformation of history. It is not to deny the role of ordinary people in it, but to objectively recognize the emergence of heroes and Not a necessity.

"The meaning of this is actually very clear, so I used a more specific customs clearance evaluation.

"The role of the emperor is more like allowing players to experience the difficulties of governing the country as an emperor, and experience the countless trade-offs in this process.

"Maybe every player will have some ideas of their own during the experience process, so the final clearance evaluation given is also relatively broad, which is of a divergent nature, allowing players to find an answer that suits them."

Lu Heng nodded: "Well, it makes sense. Then what is your answer? How do you understand these two sentences?"

At this time, Chu Ge's field of vision has gradually increased, reaching the height of the entire palace.

He looked down at the entire imperial palace, looked at the center of the Dasheng Dynasty, and couldn't help but think about the vast territory of the Dasheng Dynasty, as well as the epic deeds that happened in this land for thousands of years.

Chu Ge reviewed his various experiences during the period of playing the "emperor", reviewed the memorials and cases one by one, and finally expressed his understanding.

"To receive the dirt of the country is to be the ruler of the country; to receive the bad luck of the country is to be the king of the world.

"This sentence is a passage in the "Tao Te Ching". This classic is all-encompassing, and perhaps everyone can give their own understanding.

"But if you put it on the identity of the emperor, I understand it this way.

"It's very simple for a person to do one thing. He makes his own decision and bears the consequences. No matter what the result is, whether he regrets it or not, it is his own business after all.

"But if a group of people do one thing, it will immediately become troublesome. Because everyone has different ideas, and after this thing is done, some people will inevitably gain and others will lose. It is impossible for everyone to benefit and be satisfied.

"So, as long as a group of people do something, there are bound to be complaints, which are the so-called 'dirt' and 'unknown'.

"Assume that the huge country is like a speeding train, but something goes wrong, the connection between the carriages shows signs of loosening, the fuel for burning is insufficient, or the rails ahead are broken. ...

"Then everyone on the train must decide to do something, maybe find a way to strengthen the carriage, or maybe find a way to get some more fuel...

"In short, in the process of doing things, some people will keep saying, you should do this or that, oops, you should have listened to my way, or they don't say it, but they are slandering and thinking about finding it. A chance to jump out of the car and escape.

"As big as a country, these 'stains' and 'unlucky' will inevitably be concentrated on the emperor in the end, and the emperor will bear it.

"After all, in the final analysis, the emperor is the one who finally makes the decision and makes the final decision. And making the decision means taking responsibility, which means that if anything goes wrong, you are the one who is ultimately responsible."

Lu Heng thought for a while: "Well, it really makes sense.

"But what does this have to do with Sheng Taizu's copy?"

Chu Ge continued: "So this sentence well explains Sheng Taizu's status as emperor.

"At the end of the day, he's the one calling the shots.

"If I said before, as a history student, I looked at Sheng Taizu's career as an emperor from the perspective of a bystander, and of course I could speak out a lot of truths.

"For example, his handling of certain matters was too strict, and some people were killed unjustly; on other matters, he was too safe and conservative, and there were some compromises...

"Are these words correct? In most cases, they are correct. After all, I am a latecomer, and the latecomers are behind the scenes from the perspective of God. If you still can't see the fallacies of the predecessors, then the latecomers are too useless.

"But when I played the role of Sheng Taizu, the fog of history was covered again, and I realized that I couldn't do better than him. In many cases, I had no choice but to copy his correct answer. .

"Perhaps hundreds of years later, we have seen more history and seen more things that our predecessors dared not think about, about natural human rights, about equality and freedom, about the spirit of the rule of law...all kinds of things, nothing The question is to stand at the peak of human development and overlook the once halfway up the mountain.

"However, the economic base determines the superstructure, and the productive forces determine the relations of production. In the case of such productive forces in ancient times, it was impossible for us to raise the relations of production to the later level at once, so our ideas are naturally impossible to apply. in this world.

"So under the conditions of productivity at that time, there would always be an emperor, and forcibly preventing the existence of the emperor would only lead to greater disasters. Similarly, the emperor can only do things within that framework, and it is difficult to jump out...

"The same emperors, some emperors caused rebellion and the people were in dire straits, while some emperors could end the troubled times and give the common people at that time the happiness of a stable life for decades, so that the productivity of the whole society could develop smoothly.

"While receiving the country's filth, he has done his best within his limits. This is already a very high evaluation of an emperor."

Chu Heng nodded: "Well, well said.

"Go, go and see the other two!"

……

At the same time, Huo Yunying from Chuzhou City once again came to the school grounds.

He wanted to pick thirty people out of the 700 people in front of him.The result of the selection will determine the ultimate success or failure of the "rebel" identity.

Huo Yunying took a deep breath and said the answer that she had thought about.

"Wu Yun, Gu Zaicheng, Zheng Huan..."

The scene this time is completely different from last time.

Last time, Huo Yunying just pointed at those people who left a certain impression on him, saying "you, you, and you" while taking them under his command.

But this time, Huo Yunying directly said thirty different names with confidence.

During the course of the game this time, he didn't just focus on fighting and killing like before, but carefully observed these people and worked hard to discover their talents.

Some are resolute and calm, suitable for leading troops to fight; some are far-sighted and resourceful, and can serve as important staff and advisers;

And once he focused his attention on them, Huo Yunying found that everyone among them was a person of flesh and blood, and they were no longer tools that only knew how to fight.

Huo Yunying is not sure whether the 30 people he selected can support Sheng Taizu's basic team to compete in the world. He just tries his best to feel the hearts of these people, discover their talents, and give them enough affirmation.

Soon, all thirty people were selected.

Huo Yunying took them out of Chuzhou City.

In his field of vision, the line of system prompts finally appeared.

[The identity of "Rebel" has been successfully cleared! 】

[Customs clearance evaluation: Throughout the ages, there have been countless rebels on this land.And there is only one person who can complete the great cause of "expelling the barbarians, rebuilding China, establishing principles and disciplines, and helping the people". 】

Before Huo Yunying had time to feel emotional, he heard two voices beside him starting to discuss.

"Hey, the comments on the identity of the rebels have changed to a different style."

"Yeah, this one is also more straightforward."

"It seems that the identity of the rebel army should be the least difficult to pass the level... As long as you can successfully lead a team and pay attention to finding outstanding talents in the team, you will be considered as clearing the level."

"You can't say that, it's a bit of a backfire. The key is that it's hard to realize this when you're in the middle of the game."

Huo Yunying was taken aback, almost thought she saw a ghost.

Turning his head, he saw that Chu Ge and Lu Heng had appeared beside him, giving advice.

"You...why are you here?" Huo Yunying was a little at a loss.

Lu Heng patted his chest very proudly: "You don't understand that, do you? The dungeon of 'Reckless Heroism' is a multi-player dungeon, and those who pass the level first can watch and help those who pass the level later.

"I was the first to clear the level! And I also helped Chu Ge make a final decision."

Huo Yunying nodded: "So that's the case, then I am really ashamed, after all, the identity of 'Rebel' is indeed the lowest in terms of the difficulty of clearing the level, but I was the third to pass the level."

Chu Ge shook his head slightly: "You can't say that.

"Actually, the problems you encountered in the process of playing the role of 'rebel army' are also the problems encountered by all peasant rebels and rebels.

"That is, there is no clear customs clearance condition, and you are confused and at a loss.

"In the past dynasties, it is not uncommon for officials to force people to rebel. From the perspective of modern people, we certainly sympathize with these oppressed peasants. They launched an uprising to overthrow this decadent world, which is naturally just.

"However, that doesn't mean everything is good for them.

"From the perspective of the process, many rebels were full of justice when they rose up and resisted tyranny, but after that, the situation may continue to change.

"Some rebels either recruited murderous bandits and bandits, or allowed their soldiers to burn, kill and loot, and drew their knives on the weaker.

"When we praise these rebels, we assume the identity of the oppressed at the bottom, but if these rebels slash at women and children who have no power to fight back, are they still considered to be the oppressed at the bottom?

"Thus, those rebel armies formed with brotherly loyalty and the friendship of the rivers and lakes may not be righteous in terms of process, and they will inevitably be defeated in terms of results.

"It's like when a player is playing the role of a rebel, even if there is a customs clearance goal, it is easy to fall into a confused and overwhelmed situation, failing for various reasons, it is difficult to make up your mind, and it is impossible to achieve a greater goal. Trying to drop a key part with an iron fist...

"The so-called 'rebel army' in the past dynasties is not like this.

"However, Sheng Taizu was able to escape from the limitations of the identity of the "righteous army" in the past dynasties, and jumped out of the vicious circle of brotherly loyalty and "drawing swords to the weaker". Instead, he established the most ambitious vision at that time, and decided step by step. a dynasty...

"This is the most precious thing about him as a 'rebel army'."

Huo Yunying nodded: "Yes, the representative of the Chinese class spoke well. Then let's hurry up and see what's going on with Zhao Haiping? Race against time.

"Maybe if you work hard, you can make the first pass of this dungeon."

……

Desert beyond the Great Wall.

A grand army of 100,000 people is on a long journey.

After finishing the previous battle, Zhao Haiping re-planned this army.

The preparation time was extended to make all kinds of materials sufficient, and the army was reorganized to concentrate the superior forces.

The previous battle made Zhao Haiping realize that the more people the better, especially in the era of cold weapons.

The weaker soldiers not only have no combat effectiveness, but also retreat in an emergency, causing incalculable and serious consequences.

What's more, this time it's an expedition to Mobei, and the logistics supply pressure is extremely high, and the Beiman may not directly fight the decisive battle with Sheng's army at the first time, and it is likely to continue to use the previous tactics against Qi Guogong to keep retreating to lure the enemy In-depth, and finally waited for the Sheng soldiers to be exhausted before launching a sudden attack.

Therefore, it is meaningless to force out two expeditions of 300,000 people.The bigger possibility is that they haven't met the Beiman army yet, and Sheng Jun's side has already collapsed due to the huge logistical pressure.

Therefore, Zhao Haiping led [-] cavalry this time, and all of them were equipped with the latest firearms from the Shenji Battalion. There was only one goal, and that was to wipe out the vital forces of the northern barbarians as much as possible.

With tens of thousands of elite infantry, the chances of winning the battle will be greater, but first, it will relatively slow down the marching speed and increase the pressure on logistics supplies. ability, and cannot further expand the results of the battle.

Of course, this decision is also relatively risky.

The [-] elite cavalry can almost be said to be the majority of the Central Plains dynasty. In case the entire army is wiped out, even if there are a few wise kings in the future generations who will recuperate for hundreds of years, they may not be able to slow down. This failure can be said to have directly ruined the national fortune of the entire dynasty.

But this decision is not particularly difficult for Zhao Haiping, after all, he can do it all over again.

At this time, Zhao Haiping only saw the wind and sand all over the sky, and as for the so-called northern barbarian cavalry, he didn't even see a shadow.

"How long have you been marching outside the Great Wall?"

A voice suddenly rang in Zhao Haiping's ear, startling him.

Zhao Haiping turned his head and saw Chu Ge, Lu Heng and Huo Yunying floating around him like ghosts, and it was obviously Chu Ge who was asking the question.

"You... have all cleared the level?" Zhao Haiping realized something instantly.

Lu Heng nodded: "Yes, so let's take a look at your progress."

Zhao Haiping continued to look forward: "Well...according to the time in the dungeon, it has been marching for more than two months."

The game "Dark Sand" will automatically block some game mechanisms, so other NPCs in the army cannot see the existence of Chu Ge and the others, and naturally they will not be aware of Zhao Haiping's conversation with them.

Chu Ge was thoughtful: "More than two months... that should be about the same.

"Going deep into Mobei, if you don't get lost, you will either have almost found the main force of the Northern Man at this time, or you can only go back home."

At this moment, a fast horse in front came to report.

"Report to Your Majesty! I just learned from the captives that the northern barbarian leader Mahari and his tens of thousands of elite cavalry are in Wulan Tula Mountain dozens of miles away!"

Zhao Haiping couldn't help but cheer up: "Call the generals!"

After eating sand for so long in the vast desert, now I finally see the dawn of victory.

But after going through so many battles, Zhao Haiping also knows that the more critical the moment is, the less chaos he can have.Because if there is a mess, it may fall short.

Soon, all the generals were summoned to discuss the military situation.

"Your Majesty, according to the general's opinion, our army has gone deep into Mobei, and we are already exhausted. At this time, it is better to camp and rest in place. After at least one day of rest, we will fight Mahari to the death."

"Your Majesty, the general thinks it's impossible. Since our army has detected the location of Mahari, Mahari can naturally locate our army in reverse. The northern barbarian cavalry has three or four horses per capita. If they are determined to escape from Mobei at this time, continue Fleeing, I am afraid that after a day, we will never be able to catch up again.

"At this time, our army has penetrated deep into the hinterland, and the logistics are unsustainable. If we can't complete all our efforts at this time, this Northern Expedition may only end in vain."

"Don't rush forward in haste! If you catch up rashly at this time and rush into the ambush circle of the northern barbarians, the [-] troops may be ruined in an instant! When fighting outside the Great Wall, you should be very careful!"

"The war opportunity is fleeting, how can you hesitate?"

"What the prisoner said may not be the real news. Soldiers are not tired of deceit, so we must guard against it."

Listening to the discussion among the generals, Zhao Haiping couldn't help frowning, unable to make up his mind.

It sounds like everyone has a point.

The northern barbarian cavalry had three or four horses per capita. If they really made up their minds to continue running north, then the Sheng army would not be able to continue chasing them.

If you want to go out in the future, it's hard to say whether you will have such an opportunity.

More than ten years later, Taizu Sheng passed away, and a whole generation of veterans of hundreds of battles also died. Whether Sheng Jun will have such an opportunity, I am afraid that there will be a question mark.

The opportunity to fight is fleeting, so seize the opportunity and rush directly to the decisive battle with the northern barbarians?
Then... isn't this the script of Duke Qi?

At that time, Duke Qi just listened to the words of the captives and rushed forward lightly, completely forgetting what Sheng Taizu told him, and ended up being ambushed by Beiman.

Could it be... the same mistake, Zhao Haiping himself will make it again?
It sounds like a bit of a pain in the ass.

If he really lost the same script as Qi Guogong, then Zhao Haiping would really find a piece of tofu to kill himself in shame and anger.

In the end, Zhao Haiping looked at the other three players.

"What do you think... what should we do?"

He briefly analyzed the current battlefield situation, and also briefly talked about Duke Qi's lessons learned.

Huo Yunying frowned: "Well... From a tactical point of view, it seems to be an unsolvable situation.

"Both options are a big gamble.

"Setting up camp and resting the army is a bet that the opponent will not run away; continuing to pursue is a bet that Sheng's army can still win the battle even if they are in ambush.

"In short, both options are accompanied by huge risks. No matter which kind of failure it is, it is unacceptable to Dashengchao.

"I'm just a rebel, and this kind of topic is a bit out of line for me."

Zhao Haiping looked at Lu Heng again.

Lu Heng spread his hands: "Look at me, I'm a beggar..."

In the end, Zhao Haiping could only look at Chu Ge.

Chu Ge pondered for a moment, and finally said: "I think the key to this question is not 'how should I do', but...'who am I'."

Zhao Haiping was taken aback: "Who am I?"

Chu Ge nodded: "Yes, who are you, or who are we.

"We are not players, we are Sheng Taizu."

Zhao Haiping obviously still didn't understand, he hesitated and said: "Yes, I know, I really want to be Sheng Taizu, but I am not Sheng Taizu after all."

Chu Ge smiled: "Okay, then I'll put it another way.

"Think about what Sheng Taizu would do.

"Look at Lu Heng, think about Sheng Taizu who was a cowherd boy and a beggar when he was young, think about whether Sheng Taizu at this time will let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and whether he is willing to send this northern barbarian team because of a mistake. The elite returned to Mobei, would you like to let the ordinary people of the Dasheng Dynasty suffer from the war again in the future.

"Look at Huo Yunying, think about Sheng Taizu when he was a rebel soldier, when faced with this kind of 'encounter on a narrow road', would he choose to retreat, or would he go forward and fight to the death.

"Look at me again, and think about Sheng Taizu when he was the emperor. He was so exhausted and sleepy all night. Every day, he bent over the file to process one memorial after another, and killed batch after batch of people. for what.

"It's because the treasury is sufficient, the soldiers are well-armed, and when you want to fight the northern barbarians, you will have enough elite soldiers and generals, food and supplies.

"If you commanded the army in the late period of the Great Sheng Dynasty, then at this time, you will be short of men and horses, and you will lose more than you will win when you meet the elite cavalry of the Northern Man.

"But you are now commanding the army of the early years of the Dasheng Dynasty. The soldiers of this army are all elites who have fought with you to quell the troubled times; the supplies and food of this army are all your wealth saved by diligently governing the country; this army is up and down. , all regard you as a god. As long as you move forward, they will never retreat.

"Since the calculation has been done to the extreme, and since no amount of strategies are effective anymore, then you might as well ask yourself.

"As Taizu Sheng, do you believe in your past, present, and future self enough?

"Whoever desires the same thing wins.

"Meeting on narrow roads, the brave wins!"

Zhao Haiping's eyes flickered. Obviously, the progress bar of Chu Ge's persuasion was almost full.

But he still has the last ounce of doubt: "However, about Duke Qi..."

Chu Ge patted him on the shoulder: "You are not Duke Qi, you are Taizu Sheng."

Zhao Haiping stopped talking.

He looked at the other three players, perhaps like Sheng Taizu saw himself in different periods.

Yes, since all strategies have been exhausted, and since waiting or fighting cannot guarantee victory, then there must be something to support one's determination.

At this time, it may be the beggar who made up his mind at this time, the homeless beggar who has experienced all the sufferings of the world; perhaps the sensitive and studious rebel who jumped out of the limitations of his status; ...

And that's all him.

So at this time, he must have only one choice.

It's not recklessness, it's not risk taking, it's confidence.

Confident that this country that I built by myself, this army that I built by myself, even under such extreme circumstances, will eventually defeat a powerful enemy.

Thinking of this, Zhao Haiping whipped his horsewhip in the air, calming down the arguing generals.

"Order!
"The whole army does not need to rest, marching into Woodlands Tulashan!

"The northern barbarian cavalry must set up an ambush on Wulan Tula Mountain, and they will definitely wait for our soldiers to be exhausted before fighting our army.

"So, we want to fight Mahari to the death and now is the only chance!
"So what about setting up an ambush? Wherever our soldiers are headed, those who stand in our way are invincible!
"Listen up, generals! In this battle, there is entry and death, and there is no exit!
"Together with me, win this final battle, conquer Mobei, and never leave the border troubles of this generation to our children and grandchildren!"
